Abstract

A gun is provided with a loader and toggle link assembly for providing repeater action. The gun includes a frame, a barrel on the frame, and a forearm which is pivotally mounted on the frame. The loader is slidably mounted on the frame for movement between firing and loading positions. The toggle link is pivotally mounted on the frame and includes a first end portion which is connected to the loader and a second end portion which is engageable with the forearm. When the forearm closes, the toggle link pivots to move the loader to the firing position. When the forearm opens, a spring pivots the toggle link to move the loader to the loading position.
